TREATMENT OF Hoe CHoLERA.-For
the benefit Of all whom it may concern, 1
will give my recent experience with hog
cholera. how got the remedy, the circun-
stances connected with it and the result of
treatment. About the first of last Novem.
Der my hogs were dying daily with cholera.
In fact, up to that timo I had lost every
one of my young pigs and nearly all of my
younger hogs. had my meat hogs shut
up aud separated entirely from those that
were infected with tho disease, but very
soon those commenced to get sick and die,
not one that was taken sick recovering, but
dying in tho short space of ten hours.
While all of this destruction was going on,
I received my November number of the
Southern Cuhiuator, and in searching
through its columns came upon the fol-
owing cure for hog cholera: "The Daw-
SOD, Georgia, journal states that Mr.. Bob
Murray, one of tho most reliable planters
Of Calhoun county, told off suro cure for
hog colera that ho was using. Several
years ago Mr.. Murray's hogs were dying
in large numbers with cholera; and he
checked its ravages by mixing with their
food moderate quantity of soda. A few
days ago cholera again attacked his hogs,
and he lost twelve in one day. He at once
began giving soda and he has not had o
hog to dio SINCE"
While reading the above in tho Cultiva-
tor, my wife came in aud told me that two
, moro Of my large meat hogs had just died
and three more were sick. In loss than
fifteen minutes after receiving this iufor.
nation my hogs were eating ground food
with liberal quantity of'soda and salt
mixed together. The three sick hogs just
mentioned were not so bad but that they
cat some and got well. For ten days fol
lowing I gave oil my hogs liberal quanti
ty Of tho mixture, at 6rst twico a day;
have continued to give it occasionally up
to this time, aud now 1 am able to state
with pleasure, that I have not had sick
hog on my place since giving them th'
irst dose Of soda and salt mixture; nov
over two months ago. will further stat
that having been so fortunate as to see thi
cholera cure in tho Southern CukiUatoy
and having tested its virtue fully, do no
hesitate to say that / consider it wortl
more to me than twenty timo tho subscrip
tion price that I paid for your excellen
farm journal. w. K. CRosswELL:

LIVING WIrsEssEs.-Rev. Joseph Langston
is we'll known minister and member Of tho
South Georgia Conference Of the NJ. E. Church
South, stationed at Brownwood, Ca, on tho
south-wesis.g railroad. and is esteemed BY all
Gentlemcn-I very cheerfdlly and gratefully
certify to the efficacy Of Swift's Specific in
curing me of severe case Of dyspepsia, which
had harrasscd me for about two years. I had
1t so bad that could not sleep: Night after
night lay awake, unable to got on hours
sleep. My friends who had known me before
bad the dyspepsia hardly recognized the
same man in mo when the disease held mo in
its tightsst grip. may truthfully soy that 1
had dyspepsia about as bad MS o man could
have it, not TO die. It was so severe that I
! felt, as suppose other dyspeptics do, as if 1
had several different fatal diseases, ranging
from heart disease to consumption. Indeed,
ono physician stood rue out that one of my
lungs was affected.
After svoral months of taking 8. 8. S. was
cured, and am entirely we'll to-day, not having
lost single day this year in my pastoral du-
ties. This was last year. keep S. s. S. as
household medicine, and there are few ailments
which, by purifying the blood, arc not benefit
ted, and many cured, by the use of Swifts
Specific. JOSEPH o. LANGsToH.

ANARCHY AND BLooDsnED.-Chicago
ILL.,, March 21.-Eastcrn people will gel
some idea of the feeling that obtains hero
in regard to the Anarchists from some re-
marks mado to-day by Mayor Harrison.
The Mayor was explaining to an inter-
viewer his reasons for refusing q renomi-
nation.
Il am six.y-two years old he said. "A
life of quiet for few years may give me
a happy and vigorous old age. A terrible
strain during the next two years may make
me aecrepis valstudiuarian. cannot
get any more honor in this office. My fear
is that We will have some terrible trouble
in this city in the next two years, if the
Supreme Court gives the Anarchists a new
trial. Judge Garry has told me they could
never havo another trial they could not
get jury. The men would give out that
they were vindicated, and, on the othor
hand, if thoy wero hung, we may stave
conclusions. I have boon successful in
being able to quell oil disturbances with
the police. The future may develop some
thing different. IF should bo elected

PREPARING AND MANURINa LAND FOR
CoRN AND CoTToN.-I have thirty.five
acres Of what we call in this country ham
mock land, lies near the Ocmulgee river;
1t is deep, coarse sand with pipe clay sub
soil, produces very we'll without any
fertilizers, makes tho best peas ever saw,
any aud all kinds, the pea vines will grow as
tall as tho corn stalks and cover the ground.

high. 1 am breaking e his land with two
horse Oliver Chill pillow from four to six
inches deep, will have good coat of the
hog weeds and will finish breaking about
first of March I wish to plant twenty
acres in corn, peas and ground peas and
fifteen acres in cotton. What fertilizers
would you suggest that would give me tho
largest yield of the crops have mentioned
and would be the least expensive How
would Furman's formula do for both crops?
We mix it here 1 ,250 pounds of acid phos
phate, 500 pouads Of cotton seed meal and
250 pounds of ka;Dit. Is this correct |?
What mode Of planting is best? How
would opening the burrows, with fourteen
inch straight shovel nine inches wide, do for
corn, put in six-foot rows and plant tho
corn three and three and half feet apart
and cover with harrow This leaves the
corn when it come up from four to six
inches down in the furrow. Then culti-
vate with twenty-five inch sweep first, last
and all. Would the acid phosphate iDjuro
the seed corn to put it in together {?
Would two hundred pounds of the formula
per acre make good crop with fair seasons
How would 200 pounds of the formula
per acre do for the cotton? Would four
feet be too wide for the cotton rows and
chop it one foot to fifteen inches 10 drill |?
1 am not able to go extensively into fsrtil-
izers, but oxpoot to cultivate thoroughly.
Please advise me best way possible, and any
suggestions will be thankfully received
w. II. H., Billiards, Ga.
ANswER.-The plans you have outlined
for corn and cotton are very good. The
fertilizer you suggest is also good, but for
cotton, especially it would probably be bet
ter to decrease the cotton seed moa. little
say to $50 pounds in place of 500 pounds.
We should rather fear too much weed OF
such land as you describe, and cotton seed
meal tends to make weed. For corn, YOUR
proportions would do we'll. We do not
know any better manure than tho mixture
referred to, or any equally good, which is
as cheap. ltis worry complete manure, and
with slight variations is adapted to mos.
crops and most soils. The only objection
to planting corn in deep furrow (uater fur.
row is tho liability of its being drowned
out by heavy rains, or Of having n crust
formed over it before it comes up. Il ;s
probably better 10 cover with double. .foo,
plow instead Of harrow, but in either case
DO sure to cover very shallow. Would no,
put acid phosphate directly in contact with
grain. Two hundred pounds of the fsrtil
izer per aero in drill is very good mauuring
-Four feet rows would be none too wide 70,
cotton on such land.--iSovtiern Cutipa

SOMETHING ELSE CoMINa.-Accordin
to the Interior, another moral question i.
coming into politics, which will undoubted.
ly raise pretty stiff breeze of moral in.
'dignatiou. Says the Interior:
"A father might to day tramp all over
Chicago with son who wanted to learn an
honest trade, SO as to become useful citi-
zen, and fail, unless no took him to the
Manual Training School aud paid tuition
for him. Hundreds Of boys arc now thus
taught t'handicraft at the expense of fathers
who can afford to pay for it. But let
poor mans son try it, and he will be met at
the door of the factory or shop by walk
ing delegate of the Knights of Labor, and
turned away. If that does not do; his
young face will be bruised by brutal fsts,
and 80 will the faces of those who stand by
him. If any one supposes that there is
any limit to this kind of opposition ANY
point at which The would-be mouopolists of
labor would draw the line Of Limitation upon
themselves-he does not understand dc.
PRAYED human nature. IF individual lib
erty to acquire skill aud earn bread and
control earnings is not protected by law,
and by resolutc public sentiment behind
that law, then n region of absolute law
lessness is visible not very far distant in
the future. The disbarred classes on ono
hand and the employing classes on the
other will join hands, and Gsht for their
rights. The violence will not very long be
oil upon one side, and the violence which
has human liberty aud rights back Of it will
win. We are always glad to SEQ a tyrau-
nical and heartless employer forced to do
right BY organized labor but when or
ganized labor determines to rob the Amer
loan boy ofhis birthright, then it is evoking
moral aud material forces against itself
which will not fail to beat it to pieces.
